The New York Times hired David French as a columnist on the strength of his pieces about how conservatives are failing as Christians. Now they can claim they have a conservative Christian writer on staff. On Tuesday, French was criticizing the "new right," which we suppose is what's left over after you take out the ultra-MAGA crowd and the Never Trumpers.
It seems the new right has settled on a policy of "don't apologize," which is good advice for anyone threatened with being "canceled." Apologizing will do you no good once you're in the crosshairs.
French says there's a "no apologies" streak running though the new right that's decidedly anti-Christian.
One of the worst aspects of the new right is its "no apologies" ethos. That's not just unchristian, it's fundamentally anti-Christian.

We all fall. We all make mistakes. Repentance isn't optional. It's a necessary part of life.
Can you send a link to your apology for berating everyone who wasn't following Fauci's direction on masking, which has now been proven to be based on unscientific BS?

You first, Dave.

We’ll wait for your apology… pic.twitter.com/ABhmokcCAH
Oh, this only happens on the right. Uh huh. Sure.

Do you repent for anything you ever said about "the new right?" Please share.

There is a difference between apologizing and agreeing to the terms of a struggle session. You’ll come to understand eventually.

I’m sorry, who on the left apologizes for anything? I’ll wait.

Remember when you sanctimoniously shamed anyone who opposed mask mandates? You said we didn't love our neighbors. You said we had blood on our hands. You tried to guilt us into compliance with anti-scientific groupthink so you could score virtue points on the internet. And you've… https://t.co/Q6ouxZjE2c

Forgiveness is appropriate when there is 1) an admission of culpability, 2) contrite apology, and 3) sincere effort to remediate the damage.

"We all make mistakes, just forgive me and move on" Is NONE of those things. So NO. They have done nothing to deserve it.
Mr. French signed this theologically errant statement.

Is he willing to admit he made a mistake (irrespective of what he or anyone believes about this particular shot)? pic.twitter.com/fWVrX1xJj8
The old "And you call yourself a Christian!" defense.

How dare you, David French https://t.co/xcAkGv11BYhttps://t.co/xcAkGv11BY
Likewise, since French hasn't run afoul of the mob and is too deep in his bubble to consider their victims "real," he's ignorant and indifferent of the fact that the apology is only the first step in the Struggle Session.

Yeah. I'm tired of people who either hate or don't believe in God telling me how a Christian is supposed to act.

To be clear to the morons on the Left, but I repeat myself, f*** you.
I don't care what you say unless you are the Lord.
That's it. That's the Tweet.
We kind of wish there was a link to a column so we could find out exactly who the "new right" is.
We should check Matthew Dowd's timeline now to see what we're all doing wrong as Christians.
